School uniform-Regulations

We expect students of the Swiss School Bangkok always to be appropriately dressed and groomed. Exaggerated jewelry styles do not belong in school. Heavy makeup is undesirable.

Clean shoes, sport shoes with socks, or sandals must be worn. Plastic flip-flops are not acceptable. Hats or caps are allowed only on certain occasions.

Except on «No Uniform Days», students are required to wear the school uniform with the matching white shirt or polo shirt. At a minimum, any shirt worn must have the lettering «Swiss School Bangkok» and the logo of our school affixed to it. The lettering can be bought in the school office. Male students wear long trousers or shorts and the above-described shirts. Female students wear trousers or skirts with the school shirt.

School uniforms can be purchased or ordered daily in the RIS Uniform Shop (Ad 116a) on the ground floor or at the Swiss School Bangkok.

Students of the Swiss School Bangkok are representatives of the school to the outside. This is especially important when they make a public appearance, or go on field trips or excursions. If the outward appearance and dress of the students does not meet the standards of the school, the parents may be directly contacted and requested to provide their children with clothing that complies with the rules.

The teachers of Swiss School Bangkok are to take note of those students who do not wear correct school dress and warn them. If these students are found for a second time in outfits that are against the rules, they can be suspended from attending school for one day. The homeroom teacher informs the parents about violations of the uniform code and, where applicable, about the suspension from class. If the violation occurs again, students are suspended from school for two days, or other appropriate disciplinary measures may be imposed.

General comments

On school days, all students are required to be in the prescribed school clothing from the time they set foot on the school property until they leave to go home (Detailed rules are provided in the School Dress Code and §7 of the School Regulations).

Students are not allowed to leave the school grounds while the school is bearing the responsibility for them, i.e. during the school day (See §1 Section 2 of the School Regulations).

Knowingly possessing and/or using tobacco products, alcohol and drugs is forbidden in all circumstances (Detailed rules are provided in §18 Sections 4 and 5 of the School Regulations).

All students are enjoined to be sensitive to the cultural particularities of the host country. Among other things, this means showing respectful behavior toward Thais, including the school personnel, as well as Ø refraining from public displays of affection, whether at the school or elsewhere.

III. Excused absence from class

V. Order and cleanliness of the school property

1. Treating the school’s property with care, whether it be, computers, instructional materials, or furniture, etc., is the basic prerequisite for the school to function effectively. Whoever deliberately dirties the courtyard, hallways, toilets or classrooms must expect serious consequences. Trash is to be thrown in the appropriate containers.

2. Whoever culpably damages school property is responsible for its replacement. It is particularly important that the school’s special book collection is treated with care; that is, all books should have covers put on them, and the user’s name should be written in the front. Any damage to school fixtures is to be reported to the homeroom teacher by the class speakers*).

3. Any unnecessaryl water or power usage must be avoided.

4. Any objects of value found at the school (for example, a watch or money) are to be turned in to the school office or a teacher.

5. It is forbidden to bring to school objects (for example, skateboards) that could disrupt the teaching and learning process or order at the school. Using a mobile phone or audio equipment during class time is also not permitted.

VI. Disciplinary measures

Whoever violates the School and Building Regulations as stated above should expect to face disciplinary measures. These are laid down in Chapter IV «Disciplinary code» of the School Regulations for the RIS Swiss Section (DsSB).
